Totally Guitars Weekly Wrap Up April 19th, 2019

by admin on April 20, 2019

This week I revisited a record that made a big impression on me in the late 1970s, Finger Style Guitar Solos by Guy Van Duser. Guy’s sound and arrangements owe a lot to Chet Atkins and this album introduced a piece for the ages, his Great Western TV Medley. Throughout this update I played bits and pieces of most of the tunes he included, as well as a few others from the Great American Songbook that came to my attention in a book called Golden Standards Of The 1900’s (I think, can’t seem to find the book anymore). I hope you enjoy the excursions.

But, back to Guy Van Duser, I hope you enjoy the attached file of his medley and see how many you can identify. I may have given a few away in the video but PM your thoughts over the next week and next Friday we will go over the answers. A hint, there are 8 themes included.
